Antoine_Cesar _BecquerelDid You Know:

The history of  Solar Panels dated back to 1829.

A French scientist named Antoine-Cesar Becquerel discovered the photovoltaic effect.  The discovery evolved during an experiment, a electrolytic cell was made from two metal electrodes and were placed into a electrolyte solution.

Becquerel discovered that when the cells were exposed to light it produced a certain amount of electricity, the more light there was the more output of electricity.

To our satisfaction that was when Solar Panels were invented.

Thank You- Antoine-Cesar Becquerel
